THE  WORLD  FOR  CHRIST. 

By  THE  Rev.  Robert  P.  Kerr,  D.  D. 

"The  world  for  Christ !"  the  angels  sing, 

As  swift  from  star  to  star  they  fly; 
The  world  he  died  to  save  is  his, 
Give  glory  to  our  King  most  high. 

The  world  for  Christ!  the  martyrs  join, 
His  wide  dominion  to  proclaim ; 

The  King  of  angels  is  our  king, 
All  laud  and  honor  to  his  name. 

The  world  for  Christ !    in  countless  host, 
The  saints  that  throng  the  courts  above, 

With  ceaseless  praises,  day  and  night, 
Forever  sing  his  wondrous  love. 

The  world  for  Christ!    let  saints  on  earth, 

His  mercy  tell  to  every  soul, 
'Till  mortals  all  shall  own  him  Lord, 

From  sea  to  sea,  from  pole  to  pole. 

The  world  for  Christ!  from  heaven  to  earth, 
From  earth  to  heaven  his  glory  rings ; 

While  sons  of  men  and  shining  hosts. 
Unite  to  crown  him  King  of  kings. 


History  of  Northminster  Church. 

By  Rev.  ROBERT  P.  KERR,  D.  D.,  Pastor. 

HISTORY  of  the  church  of  God,  or  any  part 
of  it,  for  any  period,  is  but  a  review  of  God's 
kindness  to  his  people  in  connection  with  their 
attempts  to  serve  him  in  extending  and  build- 
ing up  his  kingdom.  Now  that  a  quarter  of  a 
century  has  passed  since  our  church  was 
founded,  it  will  be  profitable  to  look  back  over  that  period  to  see 
how,  from  a  small  beginning,  the  organization  then  effected  has 
grown  to  its  present  size  and  importance,  that  we  may  return 
thanks  to  God  for  his  great  mercies,  and  with  united  voices  say, 
Ebenezer,  hitherto  hath  the  Lord  helped  us. 

Like  the  church  at  Philippi,  the  first  Christian  congregation 
organized  in  Europe,  our  church  grew  out  of  the  prayers  and 
work  of  consecrated  women.  Mrs.  Peyton  Harrison,  Miss  Jane 
M.  Cross,  and  a  few  others,  having  become  convinced  that  there 
was  a  promising  opening  for  a  Presbyterian  work  in  the  northern 
portion  of  Baltimore,  determined  that  a  Sabbath-school  should 
be  established  in  that  section  of  the  city.  Their  efforts  were 
crowned  with  success,  and  on  February  17,  1878,  a  school  was 
organized  in  Cowman's  Hall  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Maryland 
Avenue  and  Boundary  Avenue,  or  what  is  now  North  Avenue. 
Mr.  William  B.  Phillips  was  elected  as  the  first  superintendent. 
Mr.  Phillips  proved  himself  to  be  an  indefatigable  worker  in  the 
Sunday-school  not  only,  but  also  in  the  church,  and  to  him  was 
largely  due  the  organization,   some  years  afterwards,  of  the 


NORTHMINSTER   PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH. 


Waverly  Sunday-school  and  Presbyterian  Church.  Our  school 
rapidly  increased  in  numbers,  and  it  soon  became  evident  that  a 
regular  church  would  grow  out  of  the  enterprise.  Early  in  1879 
steps  were  taken  to  secure  a  permanent  location,  and  to  build  a 
chapel. 

Mrs.  Peyton  Harrison  purchased  for  $12,000  and  donated 
to  the  enterprise  the  fine  lot  on  which  the  church  now  stands,  at 
the  southeast  corner  of  St.  Paul  Street  and  what  is  now  North 
Avenue.  On  April  28,  1879,  the  following  gentlemen  connected 
with  the  Presbyterian  congregations  of  the  city  were  elected 
trustees :  W.  W.  Spence,  Rev.  Dr.  J.  C.  Backus,  John  L.  Reed, 
W.  B.  Phillips,  John  C.  Barkley,  E.  B.  Hunting,  E.  H.  Perkins, 
Jr.,  J.  Franklin  Dix,  Henry  D.  Harvey,  Edmund  G.  Lind, 
Albert  A.  Hasson,  and  Richard  K.  Cross.  They  became  incor- 
porated April  30,  1879,  under  the  name  and  title  "The  Boundary 
Avenue  Presbyterian  Church."  This  charter  was  recorded  in 
the  charter  record  of  the  city  May  13,  1879.  Article  VI.  of  the 
charter  declared  that  ''the  Boundary  Avenue  Presbyterian 
Church  of  the  city  of  Baltimore  shall  forever  remain  a  Presbyte- 
rian Church  in  doctrine,  government  and  worship,  in  accordance 
with  the  standards  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United 
States ;  that  is  to  say,  the  Confession  of  Faith,  and  the  Larger 
and  Shorter  Catechisms,  and  in  ecclesiastical  connection  with 
the  Presbytery  of  Baltimore." 

Subscriptions  were  soon  obtained  for  the  erection  of  a  chapel, 
at  the  rear  of  the  lot  and  facing  St.  Paul  Street.  The  corner- 
stone was  laid  by  the  Rev.  J.  C.  Backus,  D.  D.  The  sermon  for 
the  occasion  was  preached  by  the  Rev.  J.  S.  Jones,  D.  D.,  and 
prayers  were  offered  by  the  Rev.  William  S.  Plumer,  D.  D., 
and  the  Rev.  Peyton  Harrison,  D.  D.    The  chapel  was  completed 


NORTHMINSTER   PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH. 


by  March,  1880,  at  an  expense  of  $18,311.88,  $5,000  of  which 
was  contributed  by  the  Presbyterian  Association  of  P>altimore. 
But  before  this  the  Boundary  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church  had 
been  formally  organized  by  a  committee  of  Baltimore  Presbytery 
on  the  17th  of  February,  1880,  in  Cowman's  Hall,  where  the 
Sabbath-school  had  been  conducted  for  two  years.  The  com- 
mittee of  Presbytery  to  organize  the  church  consisted  of  Rev. 
J.  G.  Gibson,  Rev.  J.  S.  Jones,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Andrew  B.  Cross,  and 
Elder  J.  Farris  Moore. 

The  following  eighteen  persons  entered  into  the  organization, 
presenting  their  certificates  of  dismission  from  other  churches : 

John  M.  Cross,  from  Central  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 

Louis  Giese,  from  Central  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 

James  M.  Huggins,  from  Brown  Memorial  Church,  Baltimore. 

Mrs.  Jane  E.  Huggins,  from  Brown  Memorial  Church,  Baltimore. 

Miss  Mary  E.  Huggins,  from  Brown  Memorial  Church,  Baltimore. 

Richard  K.  Cross,  from  Brown  Memorial  Church,  Baltimore. 

Miss  Jane  M.  Cross,  from  Brown  Memorial  Church,  Baltimore. 

John  C.  Barkley,  from  Westminster  Church,  Baltimore. 

Mrs.  Ida  V.  L.  Barkley,  from  Westminster  Church,  Baltimore. 

Miss  Eliza  Bride,  from  Westminster  Church,  Baltimore. 

Wm.  B.  Phillips,  from  Westminster  Church,  Baltimore. 

Edward  F.  Arthurs,  from  Franklin  Street  Church,  Baltimore. 

Francis  Hutchinson,  from  Second  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 

Mrs.  Francis  Hutchinson,  from  Second  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 

Miss  Elizabeth  P.  Rivers,  from  Presbyterian  Church,  Smyrna,  Delaware. 

Miss  Marian  P.  Jones,  from  Presbyterian  Church,  Smyrna,  Delaware. 

Mrs.  Charlotte  S.  Cross,  from  United  Congregational  Ch.,  Newport,  R.  I. 

Messrs.  William  B.  Phillips  and  Richard  K.  Cross  were  at 
the  same  meeting  elected  elders,  and  Messrs.  J.  C.  Barkley, 
Edward  F.  Arthurs  and  Allen  Marquand  were  elected  deacons.

The  next  step  was  to  elect  a  pastor  for  the  flock  thus  formed, 
and  under  the  evident  guidance  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  the  Rev. 
George  Tybout  Purves,  of  Wayne,  Delaware  county,  Pa.,  was 
unanimously  called,  a  selection  which  proved  a  happy  one  indeed 
for  the  church  and  pastor. 

While  the  chapel  was  in  course  of  erection  and  services  were 
still  held  in  the  hall,  one  of  the  Sunday-school  scholars,  Arthur 
Corbin  Powell,  died,  the  first  one  ever  called  away  from  our 
school  to  the  courts  on  high.  In  the  Sunday-school  room  of  the 
new  chapel  his  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  William  M.  Powell,  placed 
to  his  memory  a  beautiful  stained-glass  window  with  this  in- 
scription : 

In  Memory  of 

ARTHUR  CORBIN  POWELL, 

The  First  Member  of  this  School  Called  to  Jesus. 

November  15,  1879. 

The  chapel  was  formally  dedicated  to  the  worship  of  God, 
March  7,  1880,  the  Rev.  J.  C.  Backus,  D.  D.,  offering  the  dedi- 
catory prayer,  and  the  Rev.  J.  S.  Jones,  D.  D.,  preaching  the 
sermon.  At  the  evening  service  of  the  same  day  Mr.  Purves 
preached  his  first  sermon  as  pastor. 

On  Tuesday  evening,  March  16,  1880,  Mr.  Purves  was 
formally  installed,  the  Rev.  J.  T.  Leftwich,  D.  D.,  presiding; 
the  Rev.  J.  P.  Campbell,  D.  D.,  preaching  the  sermon ;  the  Rev. 
J.  S.  Jones,  D.  D.,  delivering  the  charge  to  the  pastor,  and  the 
Rev.  W.  J.  Gill  the  charge  to  the  people. 

The  next  day,  the  17th  of  March,  Mr.  Richard  K.  Cross  was 
installed  ruling  elder.  Mr.  Phillips  having  been  already  or- 
dained and  installed  by  the  committee  of  Presbytery  on  February

North  MINSTER  Presbyterian  Church. 


17th,  and  Messrs.  J.  C.  Barkley  and  E.  F.  Arthurs  were  ordained 
and  installed  deacons. 

On  the  same  day  the  first  meeting  of  the  session  was  held, 
Mr.  Purves  presiding,  and  Mr.  Richard  K.  Cross  was  elected 
clerk,  which  position  he  has  faithfully  and  acceptably  held  up 
to  the  present  time.  At  this  first  meeting  of  the  session  the 
following  persons  were  received  into  the  church : 

On  Confession. 
William  Major  Powell. 
Miss  Laura  Belknap  Hunting. 
Clarence  Hays  Hunting. 

On  Certificate. 
Mrs.  Ann  C.  Arthur,  from  Franklin  Street  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 
Mrs.  Eliza  Ferguson,  from  Franklin  Street  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 
Miss  Jane  Coney,  from  Franklin  Street  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 
Reuben  Foster,  from  Second  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 
Mrs.  Sarah  L.  Foster,  from  Second  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 
Douglas  Foster,  from  Second  Presbyterian  Church  Baltimore. 
Mrs.  Mary  E.  Foster,  from  Second  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 
Edward  L.  Thomas,  from  Brown  Memorial  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore. 
Mrs.  Bettie  S.  Thomas,  from  Brown  Memorial  Presbyt'n  Ch.,  Baltimore. 
William  S.  Cross,  from  Brown  Memorial  Presbyterian  Church  Baltimore. 
Mrs.  Emma  B.  Powell,  from  the  Associate  Reformed  Church,  Baltimore. 
Miss  Mary  R.  Patterson,  from  the  United  Presbyterian  Ch.,  Baltimore. 

This  was  a  happy  and  hopeful  beginning  of  the  work  of  the 
new  church,  and  the  sequel  abundantly  justified  the  hopes  of 
those  who  had  given  themselves  to  the  sacred  enterprise. 

The  first  of  all  the  working  societies  of  the  church  was  the 
Woman's  Aid  Society  for  general  church  work,  but  afterwards 
turned  into  a  missionary  society  for  Home  and  Foreign  Mis- 


lO  NORTHMINSTER    PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH. 


sions.  It  was  organized  November  3,  1880,  with  twenty-three 
members,  which  number  was  increased  to  forty-three  before  the 
year  was  out.  The  first  officers  were  Mrs.  Alexander  F.  Mur- 
doch, President;'  Mrs.  B.  F.  Stead,  Vice-President;  Miss 
Alexina  Crawford  (afterwards  Mrs.  WiUiam  B.  Philhps), 
Secretary,  and  Mrs.  Reuben  Foster,  Treasurer.  Mrs.  Foster  has 
held  the  office  of  Treasurer  without  intermission  to  the  present 
day,  giving  heart  and  hands  to  the  great  work  of  the  Society. 
The  interest  of  the  members  of  this  Society  has  never  flagged, 
and  they  have  done  a  grand  work  for  the  cause  of  God  at  home 
and  abroad  by  the  money  they  have  given  themselves  and  col- 
lected from  others,  as  well  as  by  their  prayers  and  the  inspiration 
their  example  has  given  to  the  whole  congregation. 

Mr.  Purves'  ministry  was  most  acceptable,  and  the  attend- 
ance at  the  services  constantly  increased,  while  the  membership 
was  steadily  enlarged  by  additions  on  confession  and  certificate. 
In  less  than  five  years  the  communicant  roll  had  grown  to  219, 
and  that  of  the  Sabbath-school  to  250.  Mr.  Purves  was  uni- 
versally beloved,  and  the  attendance  upon  his  ministrations 
crowded  the  chapel  to  its  utmost  capacity. 

In  January  24,  1883,  Mr.  John  L.  Reed  and  Mr.  E.  B. 
Mallory  were  elected  ruling  elders,  and  on  February  24th  Mr. 
Mallory  was  ordained,  and  he  and  Mr.  Reed  were  installed. 

On  the  5th  of  October,  1883,  the  Rev.  W.  A.  Jones  was 
authorized  to  engage  a  hall  at  $5.00  per  week  for  services  at 
Waverly.  This  was  the  beginning  of  the  Waverly  Presbyte- 
rian Church. 

Towards  the  close  of  the  year  1883  it  became  manifest  that 
the  main  edifice  of  the  church  must  be  built,  and  on  December 
5th,  at  a  congregational  meeting,  a  committee  of  seventeen  was 


NORTHMINSTER    PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH.  II 


appointed,  with  authority  to  raise  funds,  and  as  soon  as  they 
had  secured  $25,000  to  proceed  to  the  erection  of  the  church. 
The  congregation  was  thoroughly  canvassed,  and  handsome 
contributions  were  also  received  from  generous  Presbyterians 
in  other  congregations  of  the  city,  among  whom  were  the  Rev. 
J.  C.  Backus,  D.  D.,  Mr.  George  S.  Brown  and  Mr.  W.  W. 
Spence. 

On  June  4,  1884,  the  corner-stone  of  the  present  magnificent 
marble  building  was  laid  by  the  pastor,  Mr.  Purves.  The  cost 
of  the  building,  ground,  organ  and  manse  was  as  follows : 

The  lot  of  ground  on  the  southeast  corner  of  Boundary  Avenue 

and  St.  Paul  Street,  donated  by  Mrs.  Ella  M.  Harrison, $12,000.00 

The  strip  of  ground  adjoining  on  the  east,  bought  from  the  Balti- 
more City  Passenger  Railway   Company,    1,638.88 

The  chapel,  completed  on  April  8,  1881,  cost,  18,311.88 

The  church,  completed  July  15,  1885,  cost,  57,99377 

The  church  organ,  built  by  George  Jardine  &  Son,  of  New  York, 

including  the  water  motor,   3,000.00 

Total  cost  of  church,  chapel  and  organ, $92,944.53 

The  manse,  bought  April  29,  189S,  No.  1808  St.  Paul  St.,  and  cost,      7,528.06 

$100,472.59 

The  building  committee,  every  member  of  which  cheerfully 
gave  themselves  to  the  great  work  committed  to  them,  consisted 
of  Messrs.  John  Murdoch,  Reuben  Foster,  Oliver  Hoblitzell, 
Richard  K.  Cross  and  John  L.  Reed. 

Mr.  Murdoch  was  the  indefatigable  chairman,  and  by  reason 
of  his  professional  skill  and  taste,  as  well  as  by  his  devoted 
interest  in  the  work,  he  did  a  great  service  to  the  church,  and 
one  that  has  been  highly  appreciated.     From  1886  to  this  day 


r2  NORTHMINSTER   PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH. 


Mr.  Murdoch  has  been  also  chairman  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  having  charge  of  the  church 
property,  and  all  repairs  and  improvements. 

To  Mr,  John  L.  Reed  fell  the  laborious  task  of  treasurer  of 
the  building  fund,  and  afterwards  of  the  manse  fund,  and  he 
did  his  work  not  only  with  energy  and  zeal,  but  also  con  amore, 
and  he  has  done  also  all  other  work  that  has  come  into  his  hands, 
for  the  church,  and  it  has  always  been  evident  that  he  loves  the 
very  stones  of  the  house  of  God,  and  takes  pleasure  in  the  dust 
thereof,  as  he  does  also  all  that  pertains  to  the  interests  of  our 
beloved  Zion. 

On  the  i8th  of  March,  1885,  Messrs.  William  M.  Powell, 
Alvin  N.  Bastable,  and  Alexander  H.  Fields  w^ere  elected  dea- 
cons. 

The  church  building  was  dedicated  March  22,  1885,  the 
Rev.  George  T.  Purves  preaching  in  the  morning,  and  the  Rev. 
A.  A.  Hodge,  D.  D.,  of  Princeton,  N.  J.,  in  the  evening.  This 
was  followed  by  a  union  service  on  the  next  Tuesday,  at  which 
addresses  were  made  by  the  Rev.  J.  T.  Leftwich,  D.  D.,  and 
others. 

On  February  8,  1882,  Mr.  Reuben  Foster  was  elected  one  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  and,  with  the  exception  of  a  brief  interval, 
has  been  a  member  ever  since  that  time.  On  February  14,  1883, 
he  was  elected  to  the  office  of  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
and  again  on  March  23,  1886,  and  has  filled  that  important  office 
continuously  since,  with  such  ability,  devotion  and  tact  as  to  win 
and  hold  the  respect  and  love  of  all  the  people. 

Mr.  Purves,  whose  pastorate  had  been  greatly  blessed  to  the 
increase  of  the  church,  in  numbers,  financial  strength,  and  to  its 
growth  in  grace,  having  been  called  to  the  pulpit  of  the  First

Presbyterian  Church,  of  Pittsburg,  Pa.,  resigned  his  office  on 
June  2,  1886,  and  the  congregation  reluctantly  assented,  not 
feeHng  it  right  to  oppose  their  pastor's  convictions  of  duty. 
But  the  people  whom  he  had  served  so  acceptably  and  success- 
fully have  never  ceased  to  hold  him  in  loving  remembrance.

November  23,  1890,  with  the  membership  of  twenty-five.  Rev. 
William  Durant,  D.  D.,  and  Miss  Florence  Stratton  (Mrs. 
Weaver)  were  elected  superintendents.  The  name  of  the  society 
was  the  "Westminster  Christian  Endeavor  Society  of  Boundary 
Avenue  Presbyterian  Church."  The  object  of  the  society  was 
the  training  of  the  children  in  deeper  spiritual  life,  and  more 
active  Christian  work.  The  names  of  the  superintendents  from 
the  time  of  organization  to  the  present  are  as  follows : 
At  organization — 

Rev.  William  Durant,  D.  D.,  Miss  Florence  Stratton, 

Miss  Virginia  Armiger,  Miss  Isabella  Carswell, 

Miss  May  Haughwout,  Miss  Hattie  A.  Steuart. 

The  present  superintendents  are : 

Miss  Roberta  Carswell^  Miss  Hattie  A.  Steuart. 

Dr.  Durant  also  established  the  "Joint  Meeting''  of  the 
Session,  Deacons,  and  Trustees,  February  20,  1891,  meetings 
to  be  held  on  the  first  Monday  in  February,  and  on  the  second 
Monday  in  October  annually,  and  at  other  times  when  called  by 
the  Moderator  for  conference  in  the  interest  of  the  church. 


l6  NORTHMINSTER   PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH. 


At  the  Februap^y  meeting,  young  men,  communicants  of  the 
church,  are  selected  to  assist  in  promoting  the  welfare  of  the 
church,  in  connection  with  the  Session,  Deacons,  or  Trustees,  as 
may  be  desired,  and  for  conference,  and  to  act  as  ushers  at  the 
services  of  the  church.  This  "Joint  Meeting"  has  been  a  means 
of  great  good  in  the  work  of  the  congregation,  in  bringing  all 
the  officers  into  intimate  relations,  and  in  acquainting  them 
with  the  condition  of  affairs  in  each  board,  thus  increasing  the 
general  interest  and  promoting  unity  of  action. 

Mr.  George  B.  Hunting  is,  and  has  been  from  the  beginning, 
the  Permanent  Clerk  of  the  "Joint  Meeting,"  evincing  great 
tact,  faithfulness  and  courtesy  in  the  administration  of  his  office. 
Mr.  Hunting  has  also  been  for  many  years  secretary  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  and  in  this  position  as  well  he  has  shown 
himself  a  thorough  man  of  affairs,  and  a  devoted  servant  of  the 
church. 

On  the  1st  of  March,  1888,  Wesley  G.  Fortune  was  ap- 
pointed sexton  of  the  church,  which  position  he  still  holds,  as  he 
has  been,  during  the  long  period  of  seventeen  years,  a  faithful 
"doorkeeper  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,"  and  care-taker  of  the 
building,  with  uncommon  faithfulness,  efficiency  and  courtesy, 
endearing  himself  to  every  fnember  of  the  congregation,  and  to 
all  of  the  pastors  under  whose  administrations  he  has  served. 

On  the  28th  of  March,  1888,  Mr.  Hiram  H.  Taylor  was 
elected  treasurer  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  to  this  day  he 
has  filled  that  delicate  and  laborious  office  with  such  fidelity, 
courtesy  and  tact  as  to  merit  and  receive  the  gratitude  and  affec- 
tionate regard  of  all  the  members  of  the  congregation. 

Mr.  Henry  D.  Harvey,  a  beloved  member  of  the  church,  died 
2 1  St  December,  1889,  and  left  by  his  last  will  to  the  Boundary 


NORTHMINSTER   PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH.  1/ 


Avenue  Presbyterian  Church  the  sum  of  $2,000  for  the  Ubrary 
of  the  Sabbath-school,  and  the  sum  of  $1,000  to  the  church  for 
the  reduction  of  the  debt,  or  to  the  general  purposes  of  the 
church.  Both  of  these  bequests  were  very  much  appreciated,  and 
came  to  us  in  a  time  when  the  church  needed  the  assistance,  and 
they  were  an  inspiration  towards  the  removal  of  the  debt  of 
$8,000  which  rested  upon  the  church,  which  was  afterward 
all  paid,  leaving  the  church  and  manse  entirely  free  from  debt. 

The  $2,000  left  for  the  library  was  invested  by  the  Board 
of  Trustees  in  "irredeemable  ground  rents,"  yielding  the  sum  of 
$124  annually,  which  income  is  applied  by  a  committee  of  the 
Sabbath-school  in  purchasing  new  books  for  the  library,  and  in 
keeping  the  old  books  in  good  repair,  thus  maintaining  the 
library  handsomely. 

The  Sabbath-school  had  a  new  library  room  prepared,  with 
new  shelves  and  cases  for  the  reception  of  the  new  books,  and 
placed  the  inscription  on  the  door,  Harvey  Memorial  Library. 

January  25,  1891,  Messrs.  J.  Hume  Smith  and  T.  Melville 
Prentiss  were  installed  ruling  elders  in  the  church.  Both  of  these 
elders  served  the  church  faithfully,  greatly  honored  and  loved, 
until  they  were  called  away  to  their  eternal  rest,  Mr.  Prentiss 
on  September  29,  1901,  and  Mr.  J.  Hume  Smith,  September  5, 
1904. 

Dr.  Durant,  the  scholarly  preacher  and  polished  Christian 
gentleman,  as  well  as  indomitable  worker  and  wise  organizer, 
served  the  church,  greatly  beloved  and  honored,  until  May  9, 
1892,  when  he  resigned  his  charge,  and  the  congregation  were 
left  again  without  an  under-shepherd. 

On  the  17th  of  October,  1893,  the  Rev.  Frank  E,  Williams 
was  called  to  the  pastorate,  and  was  installed  December  20,  1893. 


l8  NORTHMINSTER   PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH. 


Mr.  Williams  was  quite  a  young  man,  but  full  of  zeal,  and  gifted 
with  fine  talents  as  a  preacher  and  pastor,  and  he  threw  himself 
into  the  work  with  great  earnestness  and  enthusiasm.  The 
church  continued  to  grow  in  numbers  and  influence  under  Mr. 
Williams'  labors,  and  when  he  gave  up  his  charge  he  left  it  a 
solid,  harmonious  and  intelligent  body  of  Presbyterian  Chris- 
tians, in  excellent  condition  for  any  one  who  might  follow,  to 
reap  the  fruit  of  his  labors. 

On  October  22,  1893,  Messrs.  Franklin  J.  Morton  and 
Albert  L.  Gardner  were  ordained  and  installed  ruling  elders,  and 
on  the  same  day,  Messrs.  J.  Kemp  Wysham,  Eugene  M.  Hilder- 
man,  William  G.  Garrett  and  George  H.  Porter  were  ordained 
and  installed  Deacons. 

During  the  year  1897  the  Purves  Society  of  Earnest 
Workers  was  organized,  consisting  of  the  girls  of  the  congre- 
gation.   The  first  officers  of  this  faithful  body  of  workers  were : 

Mrs.  Spencer  E.  Sisco,  Leader. 
Miss  Leila  Skeen,  President. 
Miss  Mary  Reeside,  Secretary. 
Miss  Alberta  Smith^  Treasurer. 

On  the  17th  of  September,  1900,  Mr.  William  M.  Powell,  a 
wise,  faithful  and  devoted  member  of  the  church  and  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  passed  to  his  reward,  honored  and  mourned 
by  the  whole  congregation. 

The  Rev.  Frank  E.  Williams  resigned  his  office  as  pastor 
December  10,  1902,  the  congregation,  in  compliance  with  his 
earnest  request,  sorrowfully  consenting,  and  his  official  connec- 
tion with  the  church  terminated  December  31,  1902.  Mr.  Wil- 
liams is  now  pastor  at  Lewes,  Delaware,  and  whenever  he  visits

his  former  charge  in  Baltimore  he  receives  a  hearty  welcome 
from  his  old  friends  and  from  his  successor. 

The  present  pastor,  who  was  then  pastor  of  the  First  Pres- 
byterian Church,  of  Richmond,  Va.,  which  position  he  had  held 
for  nearly  twenty  years,  was  called  to  the  pulpit  of  Boundary 
Avenue  Church,  on  April  22,  1903.  He  took  charge  of  the 
church  June  ist,  and  was  formally  installed  June  14,  1903,  at 
the  evening  service.  The  Rev.  Henry  Branch,  D.  D.,  presided 
and  propounded  the  constitutional  questions,  the  Rev.  Donald 
Guthrie,  D.  D.,  preached  the  sermon,  the  Rev.  J.  P.  Campbell, 
D.  D.,  delivered  the  charge  to  the  pastor,  and  the  Rev.  John 
Timothy  Stone  the  charge  to  the  people.  The  congregation 
have  given  their  pastor  a  most  hearty  welcome,  and  are  co- 
operating with  him  cordially  in  his  work  for  the  Master. 

On  the  30th  of  March,  1904,  it  was  decided,  at  a  meeting  of 
the  congregation,  to  change  the  title  of  the  church  from  "Boun- 
dary Avenue  Presbyterian  Church,"  the  name  no  longer  being 
appropriate  because  the  name  of  the  avenue  upon  whidh  it  was 
situated  had  been  changed  to  North  Avenue.  The  title  adopted 
was  "The  Northminster  Presbyterian  Church  of  Baltimore 
City,"  and  on  March  31,  1904,  the  charter  of  the  church  was 
amended  accordingly. 

During  the  summer  of  1904  the  pulpit  platform  was  extended 
three  feet  and  three  inches  forward,  and  a  beautiful  Gothic 
reredos  of  solid  oak  was  built  across  the  arch  in  the  rear,  at  an 
expense  of  $1,610,  adding  greatly  to  the  beauty  of  the  church, 
and  affording  space  on  the  pulpit  platform  back  of  the  reredos 
for  a  comfortable  retiring  and  robing  room  for  the  miniscer. 

From  the  beginning  the  congregation  have  taken  a  deep 
interest  in  missions,  both  home  and  foreign.     During  the  year 


20  NORTHMINSTER   PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH. 


1899  it  was  determined  to  assume  the  support  of  a  foreign  mis- 
sionary, and  the  Rev.  C.  E.  Patton,  a  highly  promising  young 
minister  of  our  denomination,  was  appointed  to  labor  in  China. 
Mr.  Patton  found  a  helpmeet  in  Miss  Edith  Rosa  Carswell,  a 
lovely  young  Christian  lady  of  the  congregation,  and  they  were 
married  June  7,  1900,  and  the  last  of  October,  1900,  they  sailed 
for  China,  where  Mr.  Patton  still  labors,  at  Yeung  Kong,  China. 
Mrs.  Patton  was  removed  by  the  hand  of  God,  and  entered  upon 
her  everlasting  rest  April  2,  1902,  leaving  one  child,  Edith,  now 
living  with  'her  mother's  parents  at  Baltimore.  Mr.  Patton  has 
proved  himself  a  faithful  and  able  missionary,  and  is  doing  a 
successful  work  in  his  distant  field,  vv^hile  the  people  of  our 
church  constantly  remember  him  in  their  prayers. 

The  mission  at  Waverly,  in  the  northern  suburbs  of  Balti- 
more, whidh  was  begun  in  1883,  was  organized  into  a  church 
in  1887,  a  number  of  members  being  sent  out  from  our  congre- 
gation for  the  purpose,  and  it  is  now  a  growing  congregation,, 
under  the  pastoral  care  of  the  Rev.  John  R.  Rosebro. 

During  the  year  1903,  two  beloved  ladies  of  our  church, 
Mrs.  Fannie  S.  Taft  Prentiss  and  Miss  Elizabeth  V.  Prentiss, 
went  to  India  as  missionaries,  where  they  are  now,  at  Etah, 
devoting  their  lives  to  the  great  cause  which  is  so  near  to  the 
heart  of  the  Master. 

We  have  thus  given  a  brief  sketch  of  the  history  of  our 
beloved  church  during  the  quarter  of  a  century  of  its  existence. 
The  years  past  have  witnessed  much  consecrated  toil  on  the  part 
of  officers  and  people,  and  the  members  of  the  church  have  con- 
stantly shown  a  spirit  of  harmony  and  co-operation,  and  a 
readiness  to  deny  themselves  for  the  cause  of  God.    The  congre- 


NORTHMINSTER    PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH.  21 


gation  has  grown  steadily  from  the  beginning,  and  now  that  the 
population  of  this  section  of  Baltimore  has  increased,  and  is 
increasing  so  rapidly,  there  is  good  reason  to  expect,  under  the 
blessing  of  the  Master  whom  we  serve,  greater  growth  in  the 
time  to  come.  The  Church  is  full  of  courage  and  hope,  and  our 
motto  is.  Forward  in  the  Name  of  God. 

The  present  pastor  would  like  to  say,  that  he  has  found  the 
members  of  the  official  bodies  of  the  church,  the  Session,  the 
Trustees  and  the  Deacons,  to  be  earnest  promoters  of  the  work 
of  the  church,  always  ready  to  give  their  time,  labors  and  best 
thought  to  the  important  interests  committed  to  their  hands. 
They  have  been  perfectly  harmonious  among  themselves,  and 
extremely  courteous  to  the  pastor;  but  more  than  that,  they 
have  not  failed  to  do  everything  he  has  asked  of  them.  To  be 
associated  with  such  men  is  a  great  happiness  to  the  pastor,  and 
it  gives  him  courage  and  inspiration  for  his  work. 

The  same  spirit  of  harmony,  courtesy  and  readiness  to  help 
in  the  cause  which  brings  us  together  has  been  manifested  by 
the  various  societies  and  by  the  congregation.  May  the  great 
Head  of  the  church  keep  us  all  in  the  bonds  of  charity,  unity 
and  peace ! 

On  March  5th  and  6th,  1905,  by  order  of  the  joint  Boards, 
the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  the. organization  of  the  church 
was  celebrated.  On  Sunday,  the  5th,  the  Rev.  Francis  L.  Patton, 
D.  D.,  of  Princeton,  preached  at  the  morning  service,  and  was 
followed  by  the  pastor,  who  delivered  an  address  on  the  history 
of  Northminster  Church.  At  the  evening  service  Dr.  Patton 
preached  again,  and  the  mural  tablet,  in  memory  of  the  Rev. 
George  Tybout  Purves,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  was  unveiled  by  Mr. 
W.  W.  Spence.    Then  the  Rev.  Frank  E.  Williams  pronounced 


22  NORTHMINSTER   PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH. 


a  eulogy  on  Dr.  Purves,  the  pastor  offered  prayer,  and  the  people 
sang  the  hymn — 

"  For  all  the  saints  who  from  their  labors  rest." 

On  Monday  evening,  the  6th,  at  a  great  meeting  held  in  the 
church,  addresses  were  delivered  by  Mr.  John  Willis  Baer,  the 
Rev.  F.  E.  Williams  and  Dr.  Kerr.  This  was  followed  by  a 
social  function  in  the  chapel,  given  by  the  Men's  Association  of 
the  church. 

All  of  the  proceedings  connected  with  the  anniversary  were 
greatly  enjoyed,  while  the  congregation  showed  a  deep  sense  of 
thankfulness  to  God  for  his  kindness  to  our  church,  and  a  strong 
faith  and  hope  of  great  things  in  the  years  to  come.

WHAT    THE    PRESBYTERIAN    CHURCH 
STANDS  FOR. 

The  Presbyterian  Church  stands  for  a  system  of  doctrine  based  upon  the 
absolute  and  eternal  sovereignty  of  God,  by  whose  grace  alone  fallen  men 
are  saved,  through  the  blood  of  Christ,  who  purchased  salvation  for  us  by 
his  death  on  the  cross;  the  benefits  thereof  being  applied  by  the  Holy  Spirit, 
who  worketh  in  us  repentance  for  sin,  and  faith  to  receive  the  gift  cf  eternal 
life. 

The  Presbyterian  Church  stands  for  the  catholicity  or  universality  of  the 
holy  church  of  God,  maintaining  that  Christ  is  its  only  Head,  and  that  it  is 
composed  of  "all  those  persons  throughout  the  world,  who  profess  the  true 
religion  of  Christ,  together  with  their  children" ;  thus  recognizing  the 
churchship  of  all  denominations  which  hold  the  fundamental  truths  of  the 
gospel,  receiving  their  ministers  in  our  pulpits,  and  their  members  at  our 
communion. 

The  Presbyterian  Church,  in  its  own  polity,  stands  for  a  government  by 
representative  assemblies,  from  the  Session  up  through  the  Presbytery  and 
Synod  to  the  General  Assembly,  each  made  up  of  presbyiers,  or  elders,  ruling 
and  teaching,  called  by  Christ  through  his  word  and  Spirit,  and  elected  by 
the  people  whom  they  represent. 

The  Presbyterian  Church  stands  for  religious  and  civil  liberty,  declaring 
that  "God  alone  is  Lord  of  the  conscience,  and  hath  left  it  free  from  the 
doctrines  and  commandments  of  men."  It  stands  for  the  inspiration  and 
absolute  infallibility  of  the  holy  Scriptures,  for  a  faith  and  life  based  upon 
an  intelligent  apprehension  of  the  truth,  for  simplicity  of  worship,  for 
thorough  education,  for  a  high  standard  of  Christian  living,  and  for  the  duty 
of  the  church  to  evangelize  the  world. 

Of  the  influence  of  Presbyterianism  William  E.  Gladstone  said :  'Tt  has 
given  the  advantages  which  in  civil  order  belong  to  local  self-government 
and  representative  institutions;  orderly  habits  of  mind;  the  development  of  a 


NORTHMINSTER    PrESBYTERIAN    ChURCH.  29 


genuine  individuality;  the  sense  of  a  common  life  and  the  disposition  ener- 
getically to  defend  it;  the  love  of  law  combined  with  the  love  of  freedom." 

George  Bancroft  said  of  American  Independence  that  "the  Revolution  of 
1776,  so  far  as  it  was  affected  by  religion,  was  a  Presbyterian  measure.  It 
was  the  natural  outgrowth  of  the  principles  which  the  Presbyterianism  of  the 
old  world  planted  in  her  sons,  the  English  Puritans,  the  Scotch  Covenanters, 
the  French  Huguenots,  the  Dutch  Calvinists,  and  the  Presbyterians  of 
Ulster." 

President  Benjamin  Harrison  said:  "The  Presbyterian  Church  has  been 
steadfast  for  liberty,  and  it  has  kept  steadfast  for  education.  It  has  stood  as 
stiff  as  a  steel  beam  for  the  faith  delivered  to  our  fathers,  and  it  still  stands 
with  steadfastness  for  that  essential  doctrine — the  inspired  Word.  It  is  not 
an  illiberal  church.  There  is  no  body  of  Christians  in  the  world  that  opens 
its  arms  wider  to  all  who  love  the  Master.  Though  it  has  made  no  boast  or 
shout,  it  has  yet  been  an  aggressive  church.  It  has  been  a  missionary  church 
from  the  beginning."

IMPORTANT  NOTICES. 

By  THE  Pastor. 

If  you  are  sick,  or  know  of  any  sickness  or  trouble  in  the 
congregation,  please  notify  the  pastor  at  once,  either  by  postal 
card  or  otherwise. 

The  pastor  visits  among  the  congregation  systematically, 
calling  on  each  family  in  turn,  as  frequently  as  the  size  of  the 
congregation  will  allow.  If  you  do  not  see  your  pastor  as  often 
as  you  would  like,  call  on  him. 

The  roll  of  members  is  revised  annually,  and  the  names  of 
persons  whose  residences  are  unknown  are  omitted  from  the 
published  Directory.  They  are  retained,  however,  in  the  Church 
Register. 

Every  member  of  the  congregation  should  belong  to  some 
one  of  the  societies  of  the  church. 

It  is  the  duty  of  all  who  can  do  so  to  attend  both  the  services 
on  Sunday,  and  the  Wednesday  evening  prayer-meeting,  and 
also  to  take  some  part  in  the  Sunday-school. 

The  pastor  and  his  wife  are  at  home  Tuesday  afternoons  and 
evenings,  but  are  glad  to  see  those  who  call  at  any  time.

NORTHMINSTER  CHOIR. 

The  choir,  in  the  early  days  of  the  church,  was  under  the 
leadership  of  Mr.  Wilham  S.  Cross,  who  not  only  gave  his  own 
services  free  of  cost  to  the  church,  but  paid  for  the  voices  com- 
posing the  quartet  choir  from  his  own  private  funds,  thus  saving 
the  church  from  the  expense  of  the  choir  (except  the  organist) 
at  a  time  when  the  church  needed  it,  and  up  to  March  23,  1886. 

The  organist  at  that  time  was  Mr.  Thomas  S.  Callis,  who 
continued  to  be  for  eig'hteen  years,  up  to  March,  1900,  very 
acceptably.  We  have  had  the  following  to  sing  for  us :  Miss 
V.  Schaefer,  Miss  M.  Fort,  Mr.  Henry  Waltjen,  Miss  Town- 
send,  Mr.  Henry  S.  Macubbin,  Mrs.  Thomas  S.  Chappell,  Miss 
Augusta  Dade,  Mrs.  Bettie  H.  McEwen-Dodge,  Miss  Lina  A. 
Thomas,  Mr.  Thomas  L.  Thomas,  Miss  Mabel  Stevenson,  Mrs. 
Sarah  Reed  Hoke,  Mr.  Lewis  R.  McClure,  Jr.,  the  Misses  Noel, 
Miss  Ada  MacMitchell,  Mrs.  Dorothy  L.  Franklin,  Mrs.  Emilie 
H.  Andrews,  J.  Allan,  Houghton.  Mr.  E.  Russell  Prescott  was 
our  organist  from  March,  1900,  until  May  i,  1903.  Mr.  John  C. 
Bowerman  was  organist  for  four  months.

OUR  WORK  IN  CHINA. 

From  our  Missionary  Pastor,  Rev.  Charles  E.  Patton. 

The  following  report  from  Mr.  Patton  for  November,  1904, 
will  give  an  idea  of  his  work  in  China : 

At  six  chapels  visited  during  November,  19  services  were 
held,  51  candidates  examined,  of  whom  14  were  received  and 
baptized,  among  them  one  woman. 

Two  infants  were  baptized  at  Shui  Tung;  one,  the  three 
weeks'  old  son  of  the  elder. 

Three  workers  were  notified  of  dismissal  for  lack  of  funds ; 
two  other  cases  are  pending. 

One  man  of  the  Theological  Training  Class  has  been  dropped 
partly  through  lack  of  funds. 

Our  itineration  for  the  year  has  been  reduced  one-third  to_ 
keep  our  expenditures  within  our  share  of  the  board's  appropria- 
tion for  the  year's  work. 

During  November  itineration  arrangements  were  made  at 
Mui  Luk  for  the  purchase  of  a  chapel  building  and  payment  of 
one-half  year's  local  expenses  which  had  nearly  fallen  through; 
at  Faa  Chau  for  the  local  support  of  a  chapel-keeper;  at  Shui 
Tung  for  the  same ;  at  Slan  Hei  for  the  purchase  and  repair  of 
a  chapel  building,  with  local  running  expenses;  these  all  to  be 
borne  by  local  members. 


*NORTHMINSTER    PRESBYTERIAN    ChURCH.  53 


At  Ko  Chau  $300  mex.  is  being  collected  toward  the  pur- 
chase of  a  chapel  building. 

Most  of  the  chapels  visited  during  November  had  not  been 
visited  for  six  months.  The  results  prove  the  necessity  for  more 
frequent  itineration  and  closer  oversight.  Our  limited  funds  and 
limited  force  limit  our  possibilities.  One-half  of  our  field  is 
being  covered  four  times  during  the  year ;  the  other  half,  from 
two  to  three  times. 

Native  Christianity  Generosity. 

It  is  sometimes  affirmed  that  the  Christian  faith  has  little 
hold  on  the  hearts,  and  commands  little  self-denial  on  the  part  of 
the  Chinese,  who  profess  it.  Recently,  a  Chinese  Christian,  in 
business  in  Canton,  headed  a  subscription  list  for  a  new  church 
to  be  built  in  Hongkong  with  the  substantial  sum  of  $1,000. 
This  is  only  one  of  his  gifts.  Indeed,  it  would  surprise  some, 
and,  we  would  fain  hope,  gratify  many,  who  know  too  little  of 
the  facts,  could  they  but  know  the  considerable  sums  which 
native  Christians  give  for  the  support  and  extension  of  Chris- 
tianity here  in  their  own  province. 

May  the  new  year  be  full  of  blessings  for  Northminster 
Church,  and,  through  it,  for  others,  is  the  earnest  prayer,  from 
over  the  seas,  of 

Sincerely,  Charles  E.  Patton. 

Yeung  Kong,  China,  Nevember  25,  1904.
